WRITER REVIEW - Poetic Playlist
"Poetic Playlist is the safest, most supportive space a young writer could possibly ask for. I have grown so much as a writer and as a person, and learned so much from my peers and amazing teacher. Gretchen is a phenomenal teacher who has encouraged my confidence as a writer. This class is such a blessing!"

WRITER REVIEW - Poetic Playlist
"This class opened my mind to how beautiful communities built on positivity can be. I’m beyond lucky to have been a part of it for 5 years and to have worked with such lovely, interesting, creative peers along the way. I learned tons about the ways I process emotions, what I value in art, and was introduced to so many awesome songs along the way. Poetic playlist is such a special class and I can’t recommend it enough!" - Hazel S., Houston, TX
